SELECT ENERGY PROJECTS

State Energy Program

• The State Energy Program provides grants to states and directs funding to state energy offices. States use the grants for their energy priorities and program funding to adopt emerging renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. States may fund a range of applicable energy efficiency improvements and renewable resource development activities across all public sectors, including research, planning, technical assistance, demonstration and deployment. States often combine sources of funding for their projects.
